The security wording claimed a folder strictly below workingDir was the whole
argument, which the symlink fix showed was only the lookup's half. The rest is
docs that were missing: liveWorktree, root=live and worktree in the API
reference, the mechanism section the CLAUDE.md paragraph had no pointer to, what
a root=live query matches against, and the limits a reader meets in the wiki
(the Git panel stays on the session's folder, a session started below the
repository's top is not followed, a page under .claude/worktrees opens as
source).

transcriptPageKeys applied to every pi, and a pi in `tuiMode: regular` binds
PageUp/PageDown to its editor. It emits no mouse enable, so the flag stays
false, and on a fresh pane the buffer is hollow: the wheel sent PageUp, the
caret of a multi-line draft moved, and the next keystroke landed on the wrong
line. Measured on real pi 1.1.0, 1.4.0 and 1.5.0. Regular mode is not exotic,
it only takes one line in pi's settings. Telling the two modes apart would
need a new capability, since the paging gate takes no id, so pi has no
fallback: a fullscreen pi with "Wheel scrolls local history" on stays where
master left it.
altScreen, the half of the fix that does the work, was pinned by nothing:
reverting it left 1328 tests green. The strip decision table reads its
expected value from the same registry entry. pi now has its own block using
the bytes it really emits, which also pins that focus reporting survives.
The fullscreen default dates from pi 1.0.0, not 1.4.0, so the comments say
that, and the sites still calling pi narrow-strip or main-screen by default
are corrected. Where a comment listed CLIs it now names the capability.

Claude Code's EnterWorktree moves the running process into
<repo>/.claude/worktrees/<name>, while Session.workingDir stays on the main
checkout. The Files panel kept walking workingDir, so it listed a tree the
agent had left.
paneCwd already follows the move, measured on Claude Code 2.1.318 in both
directions, so nothing new has to track the agent. It also follows every cd
in a shell, so a new SessionState.liveWorktree narrows it to a linked
worktree, read from the .git file without starting git.
Only a folder strictly below workingDir is ever an answer, and the listing
only starts there: returned paths stay relative to workingDir, so the
preview, raw and edit routes are unchanged and confinement does not widen.
A worktree outside the session folder stays unfollowed.
The panel asks with root=live, shows a strip naming the worktree with a
switch to the session folder, and follows the agent in and out while open.

pi 1.4.0 is an alt-screen TUI that enables mouse tracking once at start.
Codeman's replay (tab switch, reload) drops that mode in xterm
(mouseTrackingMode none, baseY 0), so the wheel hit an empty local buffer
and stayed dead until a resize made pi redraw.
Same shape as copilot: altScreen strip-mux-and-mouse (the server records
the stripped DECSETs as cliMouseTracking, which survives the replay),
wheelForward always, transcriptPageKeys (PageUp/PageDown fallback for a
stale flag, measured on pi 1.4.0). _shouldForwardWheelToApp treats pi like
copilot. Registry pins and docs updated.
Tests: 2 new in terminal-scroll-routing (red before). Full run: 12989
passed, 5 red from the de_DE locale / XDG env (custom-model-run-menu-ui,
git-worktrees, edit-history-sync), all green under LANG=C.UTF-8.

(cherry picked from commit 53e4136d9f4401e9250ac6a122599ffcb2a57e8a)
Codeman itself always lived under $HOME; administrator rights were only
spent on what it needs first (system packages for Node.js, tmux and git,
Homebrew on a Mac). An account without those rights could not install it:
the installer died in ensure_sudo, or in Homebrew's own installer.
install.sh now has a no-admin route, taken by itself when the account has
no administrator rights (no sudo binary; outside sudo/wheel/admin and
`sudo -n true` fails; a refused sudo password; a Mac account outside the
admin group with no writable Homebrew) and forced with --no-admin or
CODEMAN_NO_ADMIN=1:
- Node.js: the official tarball from nodejs.org, checked against the
SHASUMS256.txt published beside it, into ~/.codeman/runtime/node.
- tmux: the tmux project's own build (tmux/tmux-builds 3.7c), checked
against a SHA-256 pinned in the installer, into ~/.codeman/runtime/bin.
- Both are linked from ~/.local/bin (never over a file that is not ours),
and the runtime is on PATH and on the LaunchAgent's PATH.
- git is never installed. Without a working git the source comes as an
archive, the install is marked with .install-source, and it updates by
re-running the installer: the new tree is built beside the old one and
swapped in only after the build succeeded. A later re-run on a machine
that has gained git turns it back into a clone.
- Nothing on this route runs sudo, Homebrew or `xcode-select --install`,
and the route is never decided by `sudo -v`.
What it cannot supply is checked before the first download: a C/C++
toolchain on Linux (node-pty 1.1.0 compiles there), musl, and macOS below
15 (the tmux build's deployment target).
Along the way:
- check_git no longer trusts `command -v git`. On a Mac without the Xcode
Command Line Tools /usr/bin/git is a stub that opens Apple's install
dialog; it is judged by `xcode-select -p` and never executed. Any other
git is asked for its version.
- scripts/git-hooks.mjs answers "not a checkout" without running git, for
the same reason: postinstall calls it on every npm install.
- The in-app updater knows the install kind `archive` and points such an
install at the installer instead of `npm i -g aicodeman@latest`.
- download() and download_to_stdout() resolve DOWNLOADER themselves. Only
main() used to set it, so `install.sh cloudflared` died on `set -u` with
the message swallowed by the step log.
- The AI CLI menu leaves out a Homebrew-only install command where there
is no Homebrew.
Verified with the real installer: a bare Ubuntu 24.04 container as an
unprivileged user (install, a PTY round trip through the API, update by
re-run, cloudflared, uninstall), the same without a compiler (stops before
any download), with a broken then working git, with sudo present but not
usable, and on macOS 26 (arm64) in an isolated HOME with sudo, brew, git,
the compilers, launchctl and tailscale replaced by tripwires. Not verified
on a real standard macOS account: that account was an administrator.

Applying a custom model writes the endpoint's values over the keys it
injects, and clearing the model unset those keys. A session that had set
one of them itself lost that value: its own DSH_HOME, CODEX_HOME,
GROK_HOME or GEMINI_API_KEY was gone once the model was cleared, and so
was CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, which silently moved a Claude session onto the
default account. Switching endpoints did the same.
setCustomModel() now records what the session held under each injected
key and restores it on clear and on switch. Quick-start passes the
caller's values to the Session constructor so they are seen before the
selection lands.
The selection overwrites the only other copy, tmux's setenv, so the
session's own home directory has to survive a Codeman restart on its
own. __customModel therefore stores that one path, the single exception
to persisting keys only, and recovery runs it through
clampEnvOverridesForOwner() so a revoked grant cannot bring it back. Any
other own value, a credential included, stays in memory only.

The edit history panel now covers remote claude sessions. The sync stays
path-based; its deps get the session and server.ts routes them to the local
reader or to two new ssh reads in remote-files.ts:
- remoteLocateClaudeTranscript: one round trip; the conversation the remote
pane's claude writes now (~/.claude/sessions/<pid>.json via the pane's
process tree, since remote hosts send no hooks), else claudeSessionId,
else the session id, newest $HOME/.claude/projects/*/<id>.jsonl.
- remoteReadClaudeEditSources: one round trip per read pass, with the local
reader's semantics (offset clamp, block end at offset+len, new files read
their tail, shared main-first budget, onlyRequested, 8 KiB meta cap).
So /clear catch-up, "Load older", cursors and the store LRU work remotely
unchanged. Reads use buildRemoteFileCommand + runWithRemoteSshLimit only:
a sleeping host is a connect timeout -> unavailable, stored entries kept.
Tests: both scripts run on a real sh against a temp HOME; the read is
compared byte for byte with readClaudeEditSources on 60 seeded random
transcripts. A transitive import guard pins that the edit-history read path
reaches neither remote-wake.ts nor session-routes.ts. Browser: a remote
session lists images without thumbnails, a click previews. Docs updated.

Five routes changed the linked-cases registry: link, unlink, rename, and a
create or clone into a custom folder. Each read the file, checked it and wrote
it back on its own, so two requests that both read before either wrote lost
an entry. Two clones that claimed one name and finished together both passed
the name check, both answered success, and the later write replaced the
earlier entry. The same race made "a name linked while the clone ran is a
409" in test/routes/case-clone-custom-folder.test.ts fail about half the time.
- New src/web/linked-cases-writer.ts, mutateLinkedCases(), shaped like
mutateSettingsFile(): mutations run one at a time, each write is a temp
file renamed over the registry (through a symlink, keeping its mode), and
a file that is not a JSON object is refused (409 CONFLICT) instead of being
read as {} and overwritten.
- All five writers go through it, with their name checks inside the
callback, so exactly one of two requests for one name wins. Rename also
re-checks that the old name still points at the old folder, and drops its
manual registry undo, since a failed write no longer changes the file.
- Tests: test/linked-cases-writer.test.ts (writer behaviour, and concurrent
link/unlink through the routes with slowed writes, which fail on the old
code). Tests that forced a failed registry write with chmod 444 or a
directory now inject the failure at the rename, or expect the refusal.

The release note and the security doc read as if no file view could return it. The
attachment, folder and download routes refuse it; file-raw serves a session's own
workspace without the blocklist, so a session rooted at the home directory can
still read it.

Owner decision. Typing the note into a brand-new non-Claude tab spent a model
turn per tab and, for a spawned worker or a scheduled run, landed with the first
real prompt. Claude keeps its hint through the system prompt, and every other CLI
is told nothing. The setting goes with the path it gated: sessionIdle, the fresh
set, isHintableSession and the session:idle wiring. sendInput loses `fromUser`,
which was only ever false for the hint, and the deps test pins that a reply is a
person's own input.

`cwd` beside the fixed `workingDir` reads ambiguously on a public API surface, and
`paneCwd` says where the value comes from, like `paneExit`. Also pin the field on
the payload the browser really receives (getSessionStateWithRespawn), and give the
pane-directory text its own architecture-invariants paragraph.

Say that settings.yaml is shared only until the session's first settings write
(dsh saves by rename, which replaces the link), warn when a session's own DSH_HOME
does not answer and the server's home is linked instead, test
guardSessionConfigDirHome, and document the linkFromRealHome exception and what a
custom-model dsh session does not carry over.

Classify OpenSSL and LibreSSL's SSL_connect errors as unreachable again (`_` is a
word character, so \bssl\b missed them and the user read the temp directory as the

- probeLocalPaths: every agent-printed candidate goes through
probePathKind() first (no pastCap, bulk scan), sequentially; only a path
that answered 'file' gets realpath + stat. A path on a mount that stopped
answering no longer hangs the sync, a queued sync or remove().
- PATH_TOKEN_RE: branch 4 starts only at a token boundary (`:` excluded so
URLs stay ignored), branch 1 stops at `:`. Linear in the line length
(30,000 `#` took ~3 s before).
- Load older yields to the event loop between the files it parses.
- GET /edits answers unsupported without loading a store.
- CLAUDE.md paragraph trimmed to the rules; probe and regex rules added to
architecture-invariants#edit-history-panel.
Tests: stall test through the real sync and probe with a stat that never
settles; time-budget tests with 30,000-character inputs and a 139-result
base64 chunk; route test asserts no store load for unsupported sessions.

A folder made in a cases directory is already a case (no scaffold), which Link
Existing then refuses by name and which deleting would take the linked folder
with. The route refuses a cases directory as the parent (the shared one and the
caller's own), a leading tilde in the name, and maps a vanished parent to 404.
Docs now say every name it accepts is one Link Existing accepts, and the wiki
describes the button.
git's refusal quotes the destination, so a folder named openssl or rustls
classified as HOST_UNREACHABLE and the cleanup emptied it. The cleanup now
tests git's own text, DESTINATION_EXISTS is matched first, and ssl/tls are
matched as words. Also: a test for the Docker refusal on the default branch,
the route JSDoc and constant comment, and the folder copy (empty, or new).
The name rule now matches safePathSchema (letters, digits, space and _ - . ~,
no .., no leading dot, at most 255 bytes) so every folder it makes can be
linked. A file as the parent is a 400, errno text is no longer returned,
showHidden is forwarded like browse, and Create is disabled while the request
runs. Adds multi-user scoping tests.
A direct clone whose git-slot wait timed out came back with no spawnError, so
the cleanup emptied a folder git never touched. GitRun now says whether git
started and the cleanup requires it. Cloning into a folder at or inside a
Docker case workspace is refused, as git status, fetch and worktrees do, since
git would run the new repository's hooks and filters on the host.
The picker could only choose an existing folder. POST /api/filesystem/mkdir
creates one folder inside a folder the picker may browse (same roots,
ownership and blocked-tree rules as browse), and PathPicker gains an opt-in
allowNewFolder that adds a New folder button and selects the result.
A direct clone into an empty folder emptied the folder after any failure, which
deleted a concurrent attempt's finished clone when git had written nothing.
Clones into one folder are now mutually exclusive in-process, the cleanup is
skipped when git refused the folder, never ran, or the mount is unresponsive,
and a name linked while the clone ran is a 409 that keeps the folder.
Documents path for POST /api/cases/clone.
The custom folder was treated as a parent, so the repository landed in <folder>/<case name>. The chosen folder is now the clone destination: an empty existing folder is cloned into directly (CloneOptions.intoEmptyDir, no temporary sibling, never removed on failure), a new folder is created, and a folder with files is refused.
Clone Repo could only clone under ~/codeman-cases. POST /api/cases/clone now takes an optional path (parent folder plus case name) and the Clone tab gets a Clone into a custom folder option with a Browse button, mirroring Create in a custom folder. The path is judged by prepareNewCasePath, the clone is registered as a linked case, the option is admin-only in multi-user mode, and an existing target folder is refused.
- lone digit rule in CLAUDE.md, invariants, user docs, wiki, API reference and code comments
- say which installs have the codeman command
- reload() comment back above reload(), merge the sendInput comments, typedHint in the hint comment
- drop the stray dot after --urgent in the startup hint
- config-backups wiki: name the discord.json token, not the URL
- comma in the CLAUDE.md auto-named list
- discord-notify: per-session token bucket (6 a minute), 429 RATE_LIMITED, plain line from codeman notify
- fileProblem probes the working folder with the bounded probe before realpath
- sendTest uses its own DiscordApi and leaves this.cfg alone
- drop the resumed-tab check from the typed hint (only Claude's field was read)
- first sessionRenamed per session records the name without a PATCH
- boot goes through ensureLoaded, so one gateway starts
- a thread created without an id reports the failure
Claude keeps the silent system-prompt hint (startupHint, on). Other CLIs are sent the typed message only with typedHint, which costs a model turn per tab.
Builds the alert tail only for a post that goes out; separates deduped from disabled and never dedupes a deliberate notify; types the startup hint with fromUser false and skips resumed, remote and Docker tabs; clears per-tab maps and closes the bridge on stop; acts only on a real delete, not a detach; serialises thread-map writes; reloads the bridge after a discord.json restore; probes and self-ignores .codeman-discord; validates the message id; reacts when a reply is rate limited; documents what leaves the machine.
Moves the notify command into src/cli-notify.ts with tests, lets discord-notify take the 8-character id a Docker case exports, adds the wiki page and index entries, rewrites the stale changeset and security notes, and pins the WebServer wiring.
Alerts for permission prompts, questions, idle and errors post into a per-tab thread; a reply from an allowlisted user is typed into that tab. Thread creation, thread cleanup on tab delete and pinging are configurable. POST /api/sessions/:id/discord-notify lets a CLI ask for the user. Setup is in docs/discord-bridge.md.
A relative path printed in the terminal was resolved against the session's
workingDir, which is fixed at create time and never follows a cd. In a shell
that moved into a subdirectory or a sibling repo, the link opened the wrong
file or reported "File not found".
The pane-exit watcher's batched list-panes read already carries
#{pane_current_path}. derivePaneCurrentPaths() turns those rows into one
directory per single-pane session, TmuxManager.getPaneCurrentPath() serves it
from memory, and the server applies it on the existing paneExitsUpdated tick
as SessionState.cwd, broadcasting only on a change. No new tmux call, no new
SSE event. A failed read keeps the previous answers.
Session.setCwd() uses the paneExit scoping rule: remote and Docker sessions
never get a cwd (their local pane runs the ssh or docker exec client), nor do
direct-PTY or rediscovered sessions. The value is runtime-only.
In the browser, relativeResolutionBase() picks the live cwd when known and
workingDir otherwise. It only changes the base a relative path joins: the
result is routed as before, so a target outside the workspace still goes
through the attachment routes, and file-content/file-raw are unchanged.
The merged PRs (mostly #714's git fetch) added about 120 em-dashes in
comments, docs, test names and three settings strings. Each one is now a
comma, colon, semicolon or parentheses. The English settings strings in
index.html and their i18n.js keys change together, and the zh-CN value
for the fetch interval uses full-width parentheses instead of a double
dash. The one left is the regex in constants.js that matches a dash
typed as a word, which is behaviour, not punctuation.

Conflicts resolved by keeping both sides:
- CLAUDE.md (Agent CLI): #694's opening (an HTTP client, the experimental
agent-session-routes behind agentCoordinationEnabled) with #708's clause
on the directory spawn and its two refusals.
- docs/api-reference.md (codeman agent): #708's spawn paragraph and --json
shape, with #694's inspect/stage/submit in the verb list and the guarded
endpoints named before "adds no route for the other verbs".
- src/cli-agent.ts (@fileoverview): #708's quick-start / directory spawn
routes and #694's experimental routes in one endpoint list; the two
node:fs/promises imports (#708's realpath+stat, #694's open+stat) merged
into one.
